MacSwiney
Still Alive
On 65th Day
Loudon, Oct. 16. Terence Mac
Swiney, the hunger striking lord
mayor of Cork, was reported .by the
Brixton prison doctor as navlng
passed a fairly good night, says a
bulletin today by the Irish Self De
termination league. Thh was the
sixty-fifth day of the lord mayor's
strike.
"He was much brighter this
morning," the bulletin adds, "but
remains in a condition of infinite
weakness."
A person closely connected with
Lord Mayor MacSwiney stated that
the MacSwiney family had received
word through a churchman who
recently had a forty minute audi
ence with Pope Benedict, twenty
minutes of which were devoted to
a discussion of theh unger strikers,
that the pontiff does not, regard
the Irish hunger strikers as com
mitting suicide, taking the attitude
that them otive alone determines
whether such self destruction is
justifiable.
Pendleton Not
Behind Faction
Seeking Pardon
Governor Olcott's position in re
fusing to extend executive clemen
cy to Neil Hart, Jack Rathie and
dim Owens, convicted slayers of
Sheriff Til Taylor, is endorsed by
fully 99 percent of the population
of Pendleton according to the
Rev. Alfred Lockwood, pastor of
the church of the Redeemer, who
has written the governor taking
issue with the Rev. W. H. Corx of
Pendleton who recently appealed
to the executive in behalf of the
three men.
"Th one reason why this com
munity refrained from taking the
law Into its own hands when those
men were., captured was the fee
ing that the courts would adjudi
cate their case in unflinching and
unbending justice and that meant
the extreme penalty for cold blood
ed and brutal murder. Were any
clemency shown these men and
anything of like nature ever to
happen to this community again
mob violence would prevail and
nothing could prevent it. Every
opportunity has been given these
men to present the:.' side of the
case the presiding judge has ben
absolutely fair and Impartial, the
prosecution was conducted with
dignity and courtesy, every possi
ble contingency that these men
were not getting a 'square deal'
has been avoided. These men hav
ing been convicted by a jury of
their peers if; - eeiy p'reaution
against unfairness and partiality
has been taken this community
demands not as a matfOl of re
venge but as a matter of even
handed justice thtt tl.c-e ti.cn be
executed in accordance .'ith tlW
law.
"It was hard, as I know, for the
trial judge to sentence them to
death, it is undoubtedly hard for
you not to exercise executive clem
ency but if the supremacy of the
law is to be maintained and jus
tice is to prevail there is no other
course to pursue but to put these
men to death. Outside of a group
whose rVilhtbera couid be counted
on the fingers of the two handr;
this is th.- feeling of the people
not only of. Pendleton but of this
great commonwealth of Oregon. '
Oregon Team To
Be Formidable,
Coach Declares
Eugene, Oct. 16. That the Uni
versity of Oregon football team
will be a formidable figure among
grid organizations of the coast this
fall, was the statement of Coach
"Shy" Huntington, shortly after
he had offered his hand and a
broad smile to Bill Steers, last
1 1
year's quarterback, who returno
to Eugene early this morning.
Steers was met by a large delega-!
tion of football fans at the depot
who tendered a banquet in h'"!
honor shortly after he stepped off
the train.
"I admit I was slightly discour
aged at the showing made by myi
baekfield in he game again:-:ll
Multnomah." Huntington said.
"The line perfofmed creditably,
but there was punch lacking in
the baekfield. Steers presence will
help materially.''
Steers left his position as coach
uf The Dalles high school football
team to return to the university.
Friday his proteges at The Dalles
were victorious over Hood River
gridders, winning by a 14 to 7
score.

to Ireland, shot by the I. R. A."
The O'Carroll home had pre
viously been raided frequently by

of the family;
In another shooting affray sev
eral persons were wounded. A

en to hosptials as the result of

ity during the night.
Raids were continuing in Dublin

McDonald Bares
Dope Game; Is
Taking "Course"
Clyde McDonald, 27, confirmed
drug addict, now serving a ninety
day sentence in the Marion county
jail, has a personal message for the
man or woman who is tampering
with narcotics in any form in the
"beginner" stage.
"Its old stuff to say it, but if a
fellow don't start the dope habit,
he won't have to break away from
it," says McDonald. "Say, man!
Don't make me laugh by saying
that its not possible to get dope
any more. Why right here in
peaceful old Saiem the peddlers
are on the job, all ttie time. I'm in
here right now, just because I ran
into an intimate who knew that
I had meddled with the 'coke' and
the little shot he gave me started
me on the break-a-away from my
last attempt to quit the habit."
"Not Insane," Findug
Brisk and apparently 100 per
cent normal, McDonald was taken
from the jail, Thursday and passed
an examination as to his sanity.
In his report on McDonald, issued
Friday, Dr. Byrd, county physician,
stated that despite McDonald's ex
cessive use of narcotics, his men
tality is unimpaired. McDonald,
who recently burgalarized local
medical offices for morphine and
cocaiue, admits that he has used
these drugs and also tobacco and
alcohol to excess. "1 started on the
bcoze route," he states.
"I'm through for life," is the
prisoner's assertion. "I don't mind
the jail sentence, as it will help
me in this effort to keep away
from the dope. There is only one
cure for this habit, and that is will
power. I expect that Sheriff Need
ham's "ninety-day course in self
control" will go a long way to
ward giving mc strength to win out
in this matter.
"As for dope cures, graduated
shots'' and the rest of that talk,
there is nothing to it. To attempt
to cure a man by giving him
diminished doses of he poison is
only to arouse the same old desire
each time his body has a chance to
aosoro eeu
of the dope.'

"I am brought to the ooint
where decent self respect will no
longer allow me to continue my
support of Senator Harding," the
statement says after reviewing the
senator s stand on the league of
nations issue, "and the most ef
fective protest I can make is to
vote for th democratic candidate,
Governor Cox, who has wisdom to
take the side'of ther ight and cour
aget o be positive in expressing his
views."
WOMAN ORGANIZER

San Francisco, Oct. 16. Mrs.
Timothy Nealy, who was organizer
for women in William Kent's cam
paign for the republican nomina
tion of United States senator, has
bolted the republican party and
wil vote for Governor Cox because
of his stand on the league of na

suport of Congressman Kent. Sen
iftor Harding's statement regard
ing the covenant of the league of

thus placing himself squarely op-
posed to the league was the com
pelling cause that moved Mrs.
Nealy to declare herself for Cox.

nounced his intention to suirMOft.
Governor Cox because of his stand
for the league of nations. "I am
voting the democratic ticket," said
-Malcolm, "because 1 believe it has
a clearer vision of the twentieth
century place of the United States
in the family of nations. It is fool,
ish to talk about isolation when'
there is no isolation and has not
been for a generation, especially
since 18 98. I take this stand upon
my individual responsibility and
not as representing the institution
with which I am connected."

He will lake an active part ln the
campaign activities of the organ
ization from now until election.
Knows Cox Well.
"As a republican, I had hoped to
be able to vote for Mr. Harding,
but the league of nations' issue is
to my mind of such tremendous
importance, and Mr. Cox and the
democratic platform are so much
more progressive and independent
than Mr. Harding and the republi
can platform, thai after most care
ful consideration I have decided
that it is my duty to vote ancxt
my pariy," said Mr. Wuite at
headquarter today. "I may add
that, as city manager of Dayton,
Ohio. I have known Mr. Cox for
many jears, I have been on oppo
site sines of many fights with him.
He is a man of much more ability
than is ordinarily recognized ami
what is of special importance in
the present problems of this coun
try, he grows. He Is a far greater
man today than he was tour years
ago, and I know he will be still big.

day." Students Kidnap

Million Coal
Miners Leave
Jobs Tonight
Great Britain Makes
Ready to Cope With
Strike Hitting Very
Vitals of Nation '
London, Oct. 16. Preparations
for the great Industrial struggle
precipitated by the decision of
1,000,000 British coal miners to
cease work tonight went grimly
forward today.
The machinery established by
the government to cope with the
crisis was working smoothly at full
speed. The miners were squally
active. Some already had ceased
work at the end of their shifts.
Meanwhile the public was wait
ing anxiously, even fearfully, for
the real beginning of the battle
which hits at the vitals of the
country.
Railways May Halt.
The executive committee -of trie.
National Union of Ra::wayinn
called a special conference of dele-,
gates for Wednesday next to decide
whether the railway men shall
support the miners through a sym
pathetic strike.
The National Federation ot-
i'ranaport Workers declined to in
dicate its position. The executive
committee of the federation will
meet Monday.
The executive committee of the
Asosciated Society of Locomotive;
Engineers and Firemen is meeting
today at Leeds to decide the atti-
'tude of that union.
MUltary leave has been stopped
in the Portsmouth district, owing
to thes trike. Considerable forces
are maintained there ond officers
and men on leave have been re
' called.
Iron Works Closed.
Seme o the iron arid steel works
m the north of yorKsnire already
have succumbed to the coal strike
thrat, with its implication of a
prospective coal shortage, wlthj

have been thrown out of employ-
ment.
It is stated that all the works in
this district will be Idle after to
day. The local shipyards will be
kept going, however, for a few
days.
From Sheffield comes the report
that'while some of the big factories,
have supplies of coal sufficient for
three weeks, the staple trades will
be immediately affected. At the
end of a week it is estimated there
will be 80.000 steel, iron, engineer
ing, cutlery and eletcroplate work
ers Idle.
On the marine side, ocean .mers
have been instructed to obtain
bunker coal abroad as much as
possible. Reports from Liverpool
state most disquietude is felt there.
The premier's message read as
follows:
Refuses Arbitration.
"The nation is confronted with a
coal strike. The government has
made every effort consistent with
its duty as trustee for the peoj.fe to
avert this calamity. The proposa
of the government have been sun-
ported by many of the most
sponsible leaders of the miners fed
eration. They have beeli regarded
by all sections of the people as fair
and reasonable.
"The government offered to sub
mit the miners claims for an In
crease in wages to an impartial tri
bunal and to abide by the result.
This offer the miners refused. The
government offered to give the in.
crease if the miners would restore
the present low production of coal
to the figures of the early part of
the present year.
"This, too, the miners refused
against the advice of their most ex
perienced leaders. They are at
tempting now to gain their ends by
force. The nation must and will
resist such an attack with all its
Btl&ngth and there tan be no doubt
as to the issue.
Co-operation A-ked.
"The citizens must help each
other to lessen the inconvenience
and suffering which the miners
strike will cause. The supplies of
coal for the public are sufficient.
The government will insure the
fair distribution of the available
supplies of coal. Every household
er can help by saving coal. Every
manufacturer can help his work
men by making his supplies: of coal
last as long" as possible. There
should be no cessation of employ
ment until that misfortune cannot
longer be avoided and. above all,
the people should remain calm and
deal with emergencies as they
arise.
"No one need underrate the
damage which this strike will cto
but no one will be dismayed. We
have ben through much more dif
i ficuit times. With steady purpose
and determination to do justice,!
the nation will overcome all its dlf.
ficulties."

My opponent has spoken recently

I am in hearty accord with the idea
